A One-Way Ticket to Hell Chapter 6
At night, Jack stood at the bedroom door and stared at me. I was sitting on the bed, lost in thought.He called my name softly, "Shannon, are you… okay?"I looked up slowly. Then, I muttered feebly, "I'm fine."Seeing him hesitating, I forced a bitter smile."Jack, I've thought it over. Instead of looking for someone else, why don't we pick Rhea to be the surrogate? We need to have a conscience and stop dragging innocent people into this mess. Think of it as building good karma for the sake of our child."I delivered that remark in a powerless and desolate tone, putting my humiliation and heartbreak on full display.A look of shock flashed across Jack's face. Then, he smiled and nodded, "Alright, I'll listen to you, darling; whatever you say."I closed my eyes and let out a grunt. Ignoring him, I turned and lay in the bed.A minute later, I felt a sinking weight on the other side of the bed. The next moment, he gently rested a hand on my waist. I could feel his warm breath tick

At noon the next day, I made lunch ahead of time and delivered it to the office.I ran into Rhea again. She wore her usual smile. Jack, however, seemed surprised by my sudden appearance."Darling, what are you doing here?" he asked.I smiled and replied, "I brought you lunch. I was in recovery before, but now that I'm doing fine, I have too much time on my hands. So, I made lunch and brought it to you."Everyone in the company greeted me enthusiastically and enjoyed watching me with Jack.I smiled shyly and graciously greeted them back. Not only that, I requested the admin to arrange an afternoon tea for everyone.After having lunch with Jack, I prepared to leave. It was at that moment I looked at Rhea."Ms. Carhill, would you mind seeing me out?"Rhea paused for a moment and glanced at Jack. Jack seemed indifferent, which I took as his tacit approval.Rhea immediately smiled and nodded at me. She followed me out and helped me hail a cab when we were on the streets.I stopped

Upon hearing this, Rhea looked spooked. "Aren't you… angry?""I'm mad, but what good does that do? I can't just kill you both because of one drunken mistake. Besides, given my current state of health, I'd better not get worked up. Anger will only speed up my demise," I said, grabbing Rhea's hand with a pleading expression. "I love him, even though I know he made a mistake. But I don't have much time left. I hope you can wait a little longer. You're still young. After I'm gone, you can be together and have his child. Alright?"Rhea looked at me with an unreadable expression. She was probably wondering how there could be such a foolish woman in the world.But it was my plan to make them think I was foolish and easily toyed with, just so they would let their guard down."You might not have known, but I'm infertile. Still, I love kids. When I'm gone, and when you're with Jack, do you think you could give him a child? Remember to visit my grave with your baby."Rhea lowered her head

I told Jack about Rhea's pregnancy when he came home that night. Jack seemed truly shocked. If I didn't already know he had accompanied Rhea to the hospital, I would have believed he had no idea she was pregnant."What are we going to do about that?" he asked.I smiled and comforted him, "Isn't this perfect? Talk to her. Get her to keep the child.""Right, how did I not think of that?" Jack said, acting as if he had just realized it.His eyes showed a hint of guilt. He hesitated and said, "Darling, I'm sorry. You've terminated your pregnancies for me. It's bad for your health. It's my fault, I was too young back then, and I didn't want us to be tied down."He sighed and continued, "You know how my parents are. They've been pressuring me. And I'm already 45 years old. Looking at all my friends with kids, I started thinking about having one, so I could have someone to take care of me when I'm old…"Jack was the one who refused to have kids, but now, he had walked back on his word

About a month later, I received a message from Rhea, who told me she was bored and complained about being stuck at home with Jack. I comforted her, saying that Jack just wanted her to enjoy a safe pregnancy. I said he was doing it for her own good.Rhea wrote, "But I'm so bored! I want to go out, but he's hired someone to watch me and stop me from stepping out."I replied, "He must be worried about your safety, especially since you're pregnant."After sending that message, I added, "If you're really bored, ask him to take you out for a walk. A little activity won't hurt since you're not far along yet."Rhea asked, "But where would I go? Do you think he'll agree?"I wrote, "That's up to you. You can choose whether to travel domestically or abroad. He'll agree if you ask him to come with you."Jack would agree to anything Rhea asked of him. Then, I sent her some pictures of tourist spots, both domestic and international. Of course, I intentionally chose better photos for the inte

Two days later, Jack took Rhea on a trip. I smiled as I entered the office, ready to put my plan into action.I hadn't been idle during this time. I went through the company's accounts and found numerous issues. I also looked into Rhea and Jack's neighborhood and learned that they had presented themselves as newlyweds.As I organized the evidence I gathered, I continued setting up more traps for them.…One day, I suddenly received a message from Jean, saying she couldn't reach Jack. I explained that Jack had gone abroad with his pregnant lover.Upon learning about that, Jean had no objection and decided to leave them alone. I hung up the phone, smiling as I thought about how to deal with these two old fools.Initially, my plan was to get rid of Jack—his parents' source of pride—and inflict the pain of loss on his parents. But now, that wasn't enough for me. I wanted to turn these two old farts against each other.I arranged for a few women in their 30s to casually hang around t

Two months later, Rhea and Jack returned from the trip. At this point, Rhea was already six months pregnant, and her belly showed.As soon as Jack returned, he came to me right away, asking how the company was doing.I smiled and told him everything was fine. I even managed to secure the huge project he had failed to land before.Thrilled, Jack wouldn't stop praising me. I smiled and stayed silent, thinking to myself, "Soon enough, you won't have any more reasons to laugh."I had already tampered with the new project. It would give Jack a huge surprise. The day before he returned from the trip, I had transferred all of our assets away."Oh, by the way," I said, pretending to recall, "I heard that Mom and Dad had an argument recently. But I've been so busy with the company's projects that I haven't had time to visit. Maybe you should visit them."Jack was momentarily stunned but quickly replied with indifference, "My parents? Don't bother. They've been arguing like this for years,

Aha! The little trap I set up in the new project had been unearthed. Soon enough, multiple business partners sued Jack and accused him of fraud. They claimed he was passing off substandard products as high-quality ones, and they all demanded to be compensated.While Jack was entangled in lawsuits, I reported him for his previous actions of framing other companies and taking kickbacks when he first joined my company.When Jack was caught up in this mess, I sent him the video of his parents fighting and informed him that they were still hospitalized. He rushed to the hospital in a panic, but the police arrested him shortly after he arrived.Upon seeing their son arrested, his parents, who both suffered from high blood pressure and heart issues, experienced heart attacks and had to be rushed to the ICU.Just when the company was on the brink of collapse, I quickly stepped in to help the employees and welcomed them to my new company—one that I had registered under my father's name, w

Startled, I immediately tried to help him up.But Jack remained stubbornly on his knees, refusing to budge. Head hung low, he said softly, "Honey, I'm sorry. I've been hiding something from you."I tried to help him up while saying, "Whatever it is, let's talk about it after you get up. If there's a problem, we'll solve it together. Seeing you like this breaks my heart."The more understanding I appeared, the guiltier he seemed to feel. It didn't matter whether or not his feelings were genuine. As long as he expressed his guilt, I would use it as leverage.Despite all my efforts, he remained kneeling on the floor. Again, I hadn't really exerted much force.I caved in at that pathetic sight. "Alright, just tell me. What is it that you've been hiding from me?"Jack raised his head to meet my gaze, which carried a mix of slight annoyance and genuine concern. Without warning, he slapped himself twice across the face.Startled, I cried out and grabbed his hand. "What are you doing? J
